That is awesome. How hard is it to breed these?
Well this is the 6th female and the only ooth! I had three before and none of them worked. Two died from heat stroke! and the other was egg bound. This set of three, one died after eating 4 males, and the last two I have gotten this one to mate, and the other, as far as I can tell not yet, I am going to try her again this week, but I have just one male left so it will either work or it won't. Time will tell.
